    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, that is a pertinent question. The reason sometimes for late disbursements is because disbursements are also based on the receipts that we receive at the Exchequer. Sometimes due to constraints, there may be delays. However, one of the reforms that we are currently undertaking at the Treasury is to try to endeavour to front load disbursements at the beginning of each quarter in order to overcome the challenges of late disbursement. But like I said, it is not intentional and it is not a question of withholding release of monies but release of monies has to be based equally on our ability to have the funds available from our tax revenues. Like I said, we have realized that we have had this challenge. There are measures that we are trying to make at the Treasury to try and see how we can front load the borrowing especially so that we are able to disburse funds to Ministries at the beginning rather than towards the end of the financial quarter."
